Re: We need a beast WR

I watched this guy and in short, I don't think he'll get open in the NFL much. He's not explosive, not particularly fast and most important for me, he doesn't have good feet.
I hope we're just trying to determine his value b/c we didn't see him during the season or something like that.

Re: We need a beast WR

Ed Dickson is next man up. He played well in the SB, and I think this is his chance for a big contract, so I expect that he will get a lot of balls thrown his way. I would expect that they draft some competition too, as everyone has already stated. Losing Boldin was tough, but it was him or the defense, and on balance we were just too weak on the DL.

I still like Sims for value. He has monster hands and a big frame. I like Kasa (with his surprising speed) as a receiving prospect (he's already a good blocker).
Eifert is a game changer that I would love to have. Moving from 32 to 20 would cost us our 2nd, I think, and we wouldn't be naturally picking again until the bottom of the 3rd. That's makes me a little ill.

Re: We need a beast WR

This year's draft kinda sucks for receivers, but I'd like to see them pick Da'Rick Rodgers in the 2nd or 3rd. He was really good a UT but he couldn't keep his head on straight. Seems like he has figured things out now.

I like what I have read about him. He is saying all of the right things.

Re: We need a beast WR

What about Woods? I think most here have him in 2nd rd. But I think he will climb and maybe someone like Houston, grabs him. That would mean a Patton or someone else could fall down to us.
You got to love the draft, it's so crazy where and who people pick. I'm I the only one upset the final rounds isn't Sunday anymore?

This is why foot speed is so important to me.
It always translates from college to the NFL and provided you can catch, you should be a successful WR.
Small guys Markus Wheaton, Chad Bumphis, Zach Rogers and T.J. Moe each have it, but their collective value ranges from (2nd through the 6th)
